A week of frantic activity
May. 1st, 2009 10:19 pmUnder duress, I've hacked together and submitted the opening chapter of my thesis. It's a horrible botch, but since it's a draft and I plan to ditch most of it in later edits, I'm not too concerned.
Motivated, no doubt, by my complex do-by-not-doing method of philosophy, I've had a pretty good week, all things considered. I managed to get through a whole load of work, both my own and a whole load of disaster recovery stuff with my colleagues, although I somehow managed to forget that I'd agreed to write something to glue CVS to IBM's CSM. But even that wasn't a total loss. I was able to prototype my initial ideas this morning, giving me the weekend to work on some of the conceptual flaws in my initial model. With any luck, I'll find some time, between the bits and pieces of next week's course, to actually code the thing up.
Things have been pretty good on the non-work side too. Although I'm still no nearer to actually buying myself the fancy bike I've been obsessing about for months, I've at least managed to track down some details on the tax-relief programme. I've also managed to fit in a couple of short spins on the Brompton — the weather wasn't good enough for much more than that — as well as fitting in some reasonably serious running and swimming.
